Bisquick Mug Cake

Saturday, February 27, 2016

Believe it or not, Im still on the Nutrisystem diet. I have been doing the "weekends on my own plan" for a few months. That's where I eat my own foods on the weekends while eating Nutrisystem during the week. I do good with that. But here is the problem. I delayed my order for a few weeks and this is what happens.

I run out of the desserts and I dig around the kitchen for something else to snack on. I really look forward to sitting down after my evening shower to a nice piece of chocolate cake, or fudge brownie. I never miss that part of the meal plan. The other meals are no problem, I will replace them sometimes with my own foods that are equivalent.

I cleaned the kitchen from dinner, crocheted some then went on with my normal routine. After my shower I told my husband, "I'll be in the kitchen playing around". I wanted to experiment on making another single dessert. I use these for snacks or weekend breakfast.

I looked in the pantry and noticed a box of Bisquick. I decided to go with the pancake recipe but change it up a bit and make it small enough to satisfy one. You may think I only think of myself when I do these but I always offer my husband the first bite and will make him one if he wants it.

I get all the credit for this one. I didn't go by any recipe or online ideas. I just guessed at the measurements and had no idea if it would even cook in a microwave. I figured I'd have to play around to get it right, but I aced it the first time. It didn't need less or more of anything. It was perfect. I actually surprised myself. Basically, I replaced the cup measures for Tablespoon measures.

I'm so excited how this cake turned out that I'm going to share it with you now.
I'm not really sure if its considered a pancake or a muffin. It wasn't cooked in a pan so its not a pancake, it was cooked in a mug so it a mug cake.
Get it?
OK, on to the recipe.

First grab a mug or ramekin and add all the ingredients. No need to grease it.Bisquick Mug Cake

After I ate this, I went to my Nutrisystem account and set my next food shipment to arrive early next week. Their foods satisfy me to where I do not want to snack like this all the time. Seriously. I want to eat all day long!

Mug-cake! awright! For many years Bisquick was Sherry's stand by. WE seldom bake anymore but the box is there.She got up early to bake some 'healthy cookies', she is the sweet eater in our house. I prefer a carrot or an apple.BUT imma tell you I do like Bisquick pancakes, so I have no doubt I would like your Mug-cake.
